Removing laptops and liquids from carry-on baggage could be a thing of the past if scanners that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is testing become widespread.

The computed tomography (CT) scanners it is trialing can show images in 3-D, reducing the need for baggage checks and having items removed from baggage during screening, the agency said on July 30.
